May I ask you cruisers who you book your cruises with and why.
We have cruised a few times and have used Vacations to go and
cruisesonly. Have you found better places to use?

CruCon is a very good online agency; subscribe to their email list and watch for sales and specials

We have used a few different agents to book cruises, but have settled on one that does a great job for us. Gets us good prices and even gets some freebies thrown in sometimes.

My wife and I are veteran cruisers. We have done 20 cruises, # 21 is this booked November 2015 and #22 is April 2016. We book all our own cruises and ALWAYS get the best deals that no booking agent can touch. We search the cruise line (Carnival or RCCL usually) compare the prices to Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz and anyone else we can compare to. Whoever has the best deal and Cabin Credits gets our business and we get some unreal deals. Our November Cruise was booked directly through Carnival. They ran a 4 day cruise special for frequent past cruisers for a special price. Our total for both my wife and I including ALL taxes and port charges was $514.00! It is cruising to Nassau and Freeport (Been there many times already but cant pass this up). Where else can I go and get lodging, fed like a king, entertained nightly and gamble in the casino for $64.00 a day per person? And we ALWAYS find cruises like this! Search yourself and Save! Good luck on your search!

When we did the Grand World Voyage on HAL in 2008, many bags were missing that HAL had FEDEX pickup and deliver for us. My wife's bag with all her formal wear (23 Formal nights on 114 days) Lori bought a suitcase bought some clothes and sent it to Panama City, it came and my wife's bag also. Not too many agents would do that. Or battle HAL over problems and got us more shipboard credit. Nice as Grand Voyage all Gratuities included.

We use HAL for Ocean cruises, 5 Star, at 4 Star we got free Laundry, our next cruise in first Voyage of the MS Konigsdam 8 April for 19 days Rome to Rome. Anyone else on this cruise. Was bargain since first voyage.

You probably have, but buy at least 100 shares of Carnival stock and you get shipboard credit. Good for all the lines they have bought, Holland America, Princess, Cunnard, Aida P&O and some more.

We use Tania's Travel (Home Agent) in Belleview, FL (352) 693-3034
She finds us the best prices (will do her best to beat any quote), no agent fees and we always receive on-board $$ and gifts.
